Now close to carpets are rugs and are often placed as synonyms. Apparently they share no difference at all. Both are used as floor covers. But still a small difference always remains.

The first and foremost difference is related with size. Carpets are generally bigger than the rugs. And the center carpets for the household purpose are often called by the name of Area Rugs. Rugs standard space will cover an area of length of 2 meters at the most. But carpet begins its size with this length. The normal size for carpets is more than 6.5 feet.

If you are over with size, just have a look on the services both carpets and rugs provide us. Both held their heads high, well just kidding, both can be justifiably regarded as furnishing depots with a luxurious feel. But they do differ in purposes on the serving grounds as well, even if both are duly meant for floor coverings.

Rugs have a variety of utilities apart from covering the floors. As centerpiece floor covers, rugs are widely used but major attractions are stored in the finest designs of wall hangings or wall pieces. They are small in size and elegant in style. Even as table mats, rugs have a distinct ornamental attribute. Your way of serving etiquettes get a splendor with this classiness.

Carpets, as per the dimension, have a bigger space to be spread on. You can wrap the entire house with wall-to-wall carpeting. You can go for handloom carpets in fine jute for shaping your floors. Though wall carpets are available but more brought into use are wall rugs.

Carpets are generally hand woven, machine made, tufted ones made of cotton, nylon, wool and silk. Even the rugs can be woven of similar materials. The rugs that are patterned and designed by tying hand knots can give both the traditional heritage of carpet weaving and the contemporary trend of latest designs.

But for the carpets, the hand knotted ones are often the rich ornamentation of aesthetic designs that take us to the bygone eras.
